NBS actions for climate resilience can be aimed at macro‐scale mitigation, by enhancing carbon storage and sequestration in vegetation or soil and thus reducing global greenhouse gas concentrations, or at meso and microscale adaptation through planting vegetation to improve the local or regional micro‐climate through cooling, shading and shelter. Many actions can achieve both of these impacts, including:

Potential actions for global climate mitigation and expected impacts

Potential actions

Expected impacts

Increasing the area of (or avoiding the loss of) green space, particularly wetlands and tree cover, for both direct and indirect carbon storage.
